Do you Have to Download Disc Games on PS5?
Yes, you do. Even if you have a physical disc, the PS5 still needs to install the game data onto the console's SSD. Welcome to the future, I guess!

Unfortunately, yes. The disc is mainly used to verify ownership; most games require installation to take advantage of the PS5's speed and performance.
Nope, you still need to install them. The disc acts as a key to unlock the game, but the console installs the data for optimal performance.
Yup, it's not like the old days where you just pop in the disc and play right away.
Trust me, installing disc games on the PS5 is a small price to pay for those super fast load times and stunning graphics!
